I couldn't resist, Satern has barrels available to buy, in stock. I have a standard type profile one so I thought I would try an 18" heavy, .873 at the muzzle. I've never built a rifle with such a large profile barrel so I have some questions.
The gb diameter is .875, with a lopro version can I still use a normal gas tube? Any recommendations on uppers, I've had good success with Mega both forged and billet, but thought I might try something different. I've never glued a barrel in but because of the barrel weight I may do so on this one. Any thoughts?
Before anyone brings it up, let's avoid the whole debate about barrel chambers and your feelings on Satern in general please. 😎
